Gunthorpe back to Sawley

On the move by 8:30 as we have decided we want to go back to the canals and Jan does not want to stop in Nottingham tonight. So 21 miles and 8 locks to get back to Sawley! We again met the chap who helped us look for the lost windlass at Bishops Lock, still did not write down the name of his boat. We now have the big Trent locks sussed, Jan on the bows me on the stern and Spot shut down below. Had a stop at Sainbury by Castle Marina to pick up milk etc and get a snack for lunch. Jan sent me as I am the snack king, never left a supermarket without something to nibble on. I came back with four hot and spicy chicken thighs and a bag of hot roast potatoes all from the hot snacks counter, total cost £3. We had to push hard to get back to Sawley, it was almost 6:00pm by the time we moored. We were both very tired and fractious. Make ham sandwiches served with Pomme Bears for tea. Too tiered for a shower will sort out everything in the morning.
